THT3 MORNING OREGON IAS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1908. PLAGES LIMIT ON INSANITY TALK Dowling Will Not Give Experts Full Swing, in the Thaw Trial. FIRST SIGHT OF EVELYN Thaw Was Told Slio Belonged to White Two Alienists Repeat tbe Story Told Them In Tombs. Foreign AVitnesses Next.' NEW YORK, Jan. 23. When an early adjournment of the Thaw trial was taken today in order to enable the attorneys for the defense to prepare their long hypo thetical question covering all the evidence in the case, there- seemed no lonffer any doubt that next week will bring the sec ond hearing to a close. Justice Dowling has decided to limit each side to three expert witnesses, and two of the defense trio were heard today as to the facts of the mental and physical examinations they made of Harry Thaw In the Tombs prison after his arrest for the killing of Stanford White. No experts for the state have yet ap peared in the courtroom and District At torney Jerome has not indicated the man ner in which he will combat the testi mony of the alienists in the employ of the defense. All of the doctors who served Jlr. Jerome at the first hearing are un der supena by the defense, not as paid experts, but as possible witnesses in sur rebuttal of any action the District At torney may take In rebutting the, insan ity plea that has been built up. Turns Tables on Thaw's Mother. ' Mr. Jerome turned the tables yesterday upon Mrs. William Thaw by reading to the, Jury the affidavits she made a year tiro to the lunacy commission which was testing hor son's condition of mind, and ttie defense shows a seeming reversal .in having the state's alienists admit that they made affidavits a year ago express ing the opinion that Harry Thaw was suf fering from incurable paranoia and had been a victim of that mental malady for many years. Justice Dowling held a conference with all of the attorneys interested in the case before announcing his decision to limit tho amount of expert testimony to be placed before the Jury. Last year the de fense offered six experts to answer the hypothetical question, but these were overwhelmed, numerically, at least, by tho battery of nine brought for ward by District Attorney Jerome. The effect of Justice Dowling's decision will be materially to shorten the case. The defense should conclude Its evidence tomorrow unless Mr. Jerome extends his cross-examination beyond the limit of his present Intention. When Thaw First Saw Kvelyn. Dr. Charles Wagner, of Binghamton, N. T., and Dr. Britton D. Evans, of Morris Plains. N. J., both superintendents of Mate Institutions were on the stand today. In detailing their conversations with Thaw In the Tombs they brought out more clearly two points which were glossed over last year. The first of these was to the effect that Thaw had . told them that in 1900 or 1901 he had been a suest of Stanford White at a dinner party in the Madison Square Garden tower. He loft early and had been accused of break ing up the party. Some of the guests did not eat much. Thaw declared, and tho young woman who sat next him de ' clared tho food was bad. Thaw also told the physicians of the first time he say Evelyn Nesbit. It was in 1901 In front of a theater. "A pure looking girl," he declared her. Then he asked who she was. He was told the name was Nesbtt and that "she belongs to Stanford White." . Dr. Wagner added: "Thaw said he did not see how such a girl could care for White, who 'had red dish hair and looked like an ape.' " Thaw managed afterward to meet the girl at an afternoon theater supper in company with several other chorus peo ple. Kuropcan Witnesses Today. , The European witnesses who are yet t be presented for the defense will ar rive tomorrow morning on the steamer Adriatic. The court session begins at 10 o'clock and every effort will be made to have them there at that time, as Mr. IJttloton Is anxious that their evidence shall be In before he puts his hypothetical question. Besides Drs. Wagner and Evans, the question will he answered for the defense by Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe, of Columbia University, who appeared at the last trial. Dr. Charles L. Bailey, of Albany, told of having attended Thaw on a New York Central train In April, 1906, and said: "Thaw was chattering something like tills: 'Shasta, shacta, shasta; the Penn sylvania runs Into the New York Cen tral.' He kept on repeating this for some time, ilia eyes were bulging and be ap peared unsound. I gave him a hypo dermic of morphine. When Thaw saw the syringe he said, 'Take away the die stuff.' I was very close to him and could not detect the odor of alcohol." Thaw Told Ills Life History. Dr. Wagner's testimony was mainly a repetition of that given at the former trial as to his Interviews with Thaw In the Tombs and the latter's charges and animosity against White. He continued: "Mr. Thaw gave me a history of his life. He said he never got along very well at school, and once thought of be ing a painter. In traveling abroad he had met some pretty fast people, but had never been a dissipated man or much in the company of women. He said he rarely or never drank whisky alone. He always wanted to talk of the wrongs he said Stanford White had done, and he referred to those whom he termed 'other rich criminals engaged In the same prac tices. His manner of speech was very rapid and at times incoherent." Thaw, he said, was very solicitous nbcut draughts in the prison, saying some people hoped he would catch cold and die. so that the case would never come to trial and White's acts would never be known. Thaw told him that whenever Evelyn Nesbit saw White she would "shrink and shrivel up" until he feared for her health. Thaw always referred to White as "the beast" or "the black guard." Kvans of Brain Storm Fame. Dr. Evans, who introduced the brain storm into the case, went over much of the ground covered by Dr. Wagner, the two having been together on most of their visits to the defendant In the Tombs. Thaw talked very rapidly, the witness said, his words tumbling over one another. "He always assumed the air of great importance, as if to impress me that he was the master of the situation," con tinued Dr. Evans, "and would tell me what should be done rather than I should tell him anything. There was always the r&rne glare or tn eyes, the same egotism. th same nervous twitching of tho tacej.laff a losa of 100,000, -a the same suspicious attitude every time I saw the defendant." JAPAN'S FINANCIAL LOAD Budget Shows She Still Fays Cost of Victory. TOKIO, Jan. 23. A summary of the budget of the Japanese government for the -fiscal year commencing April 1 next, which is to be submitted to the Diet, was obtained today. The total estimated rev enue Is put down at 616,000,000 yen, .of which 475,700.000 yen Is from ordinary rev enue and 140,300.000 yen from extraordi nary revenue. The ordinary expense for the year is estimated at 427.000,000 yen and the extraordinary expense at 189,000, 000 yen. According to the estimates made in the budget, ordinary revenue exceeds the last year's estimate by 60,000,000 yen. while the extraordinary revenue is less than that of last year by the same amount. During -the war with Russia war expenses formed a separate budget apart from the general budget, and after the conclusion of the war a considerable amount was brought over from the bal ance of the war expenses to figure as an item of extraordinary revenues. For the next fiscal year -this will' not be done, at least to any considerable amount. Extra ordinary revenue is estimated to be 60, 000.000 yen less than it was last year. The estimated Increase of 50,000,000 yen In the ordinary revenue is accounted for by the expected increase in the receipts from taxes, as well as from the post and telegraph services, such increase being the natural result of general expansion of industrial Ijfe. Receipts from the gov ernment railways and profit from state- owned forests are also expected to ha larger than betore. internal taxes on sake, sugar and illuminating oil will be Increased only to the extent of making tile increase in revenue from this source about 5,000,000 yen. Ordinary expense is estimated to be 14, 700,000 yen more than it was in the last year's budget, due in the first place to the transfer of certain items from extra ordinary expense. Extraordinary expenses are estimated at 159,000,000 yen, which is less than the last year's estimate by 15,000,000 yen This decrease is principally in the mili tary expenditures. The sum of 176,000,000 yen is appropri ated for the national debt sinking fund of which 38,000,000 yen will be spent for the payment of the principal. In considering Japan's finances, atten tion is called to the volume of foreign trade of Japan during 1907. This shows that exports and imports amounted re spectively to 490,000,000 yen and 430,000,000 yen, making the total of 930,0000,000 yen, which exceeds that of the previous year by 84,000,000 yen. VOTE OF CEXSURE REJECTED Japanese Cabinet Wins Fight in Diet by Small Margin. TOKIO, Jan. 23. A motion to cen sure the government was defeated in the Lower House of the Diet today, 177 votes to 168. The debate on the motion lasted for three hours and a half. The debate turned entirely on the budget, no mention being made of the emigration question or the Govern ment's policy thereon. An unusual fea ture of the vote was the combination of the representations of the Progres sives with the Daldo Club and the Yuko-Wai party. This combination represented a determined effort upon the part of the "outs' to defeat the gov ernment and force the resignation of the Cabinet. Their failure to effect it now insures the Cabinet remaining: in power and the probable passage of the budget. The opposition speakers In the de bate blamed the government for lack of foresight, the Constitutionalists holding that the government was un able" to predict any extraordinary con ditions. Marquis Salonji, the Premier, repeated in the House the speech he had already made before the Peers. The motion of censure referred to in the dispatch from Tokio was pre pared and presented by the Progres sive and Yuko parties. It declares a lack of confidence in the Cabinet, based on the alleged faulty financial meas ures. When it became known that the motion was to be debated today, the Constitutionalists began efforts to has ten the arrival at Tokio of many of their adherents who had been delayed. It was hardly expected that the motion would be carried. BOAT IS STILL MISSING May Be Lost With 28 Persons From the Amsterdam. HOOK OP HOLLAND. Jan. 23. No news has yet been received of 'the missing boat from the steamer Amsterdam, one of several that put off from that vessel after the collision Tuesday night with the steamer Axminster. It is believed that this boat has been carried south by the currents and that she will make a land ing somewhere on the coast. The heavy fog, which continues, has Interfered with the search fo;- the missing boat, but all the vessels anchored in the fairway have been advised and not one had heard of her. The boat carries 28 persons, of which 21 are passengers. She is said to be well provisioned. At the time or the collision the Am sterdam was coming from Harwich with 56 passengers on board. All the other passengers and crew were transferred safely to the Axminster. The Amsterdam was beached. Fire Attacks Minnesota Town. GRAND RAPIDS, Minn., Jan.

CRUSHED BY ILL Three Men Killed in Great Fire at Baltimore. GALE FANS THE FLAMES Big Wholesale Building Destroyed and Loss of $450,000 Results. Ten Firemen Injured, Includ ing Chief of Department.- " BALTIMORE, Jan. 24. Three men were killed and. 10 injured and J450.OO0 worth of property was destroyed in a fire at Holliday and Saratoga streets early this morning. George Hort,on, chief of the fire department, is among the in jured. The dead: Lieutenant Frederick Harman. William B. Pugh. An unidentified man. Starting some time after midnight on the third floor of the building on the southeast corner of Holliday and Sara toga streets, occupied by the J. Regester Sons Company, plumbers' supplies, it spread so rapidly that a general alarm followed almost immediately upon the first one sent in. The gale from the northwest spread the fire rapidly, and this and very cold weather made the work of the firemen more than usually difficult. Within a very few minutes after the flames hurst from the windows of the Saratoga-street side of the Regester building, the wall on that side fell. The men killed and injured were working close to the building and had no warn ing to save themselves. In the same building with the Regester firm was the Baltimore Bell & Brass Company. The principal loss falls upon these two. Smaller losses were suffered by Bentley & Shriver, grocers; Flynn & Emerich, machinists; E. B. Reed & Sons Company, printers in the rear" of the Regester building on Saratoga street, and the City Hall Annex. In the latter is located the .health department office, and Mayor Mahoot superintended the re moval therefrom of valuable records an'i other property to a place of safety. The fire was under control at 2:S0 A. M. TAFT DEPRECATES FIGHT (Continued from First Page.) Wyoming, Alaska and the two big terrl tories of the Southwest. In addition to these, Taft's friends claim Alabama, Ar kansas. Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky. Louisiana. Michigan, Minne sot a, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Da kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Hawaii, the Philip pines and Porto Rico. If Taft had the support of these states he would have the number of votes claimed, 4i. Not all of the states named are sure Taft states at the present time, and fights are under way to wrest from Taft several among thenu Senator Knox, who is making some headway with his campaign, is pointing to the fact that the Government's successful suit against the merger of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern should win him support of the states traversed by those roads, and the Knox men are using this argu ment in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon tana, Idaho and Washington. It is too early in the game to predict what the result will be. But it is not too early to look into the workings of some of the Knox men. Bourne Working for Knox. Senator Bourne, of Oregon, who was chief engineer of the Roosevelt third term movement until it was checked by the President, openly professes that he believes Roosevelt will yet be nominated. Yet the Oregon Senator has been culti vating Mr. Knox in most aggressive style. and has gone to the extent of admitting to his friends that Knox would make a strong President. If Bourne ever gets to the point Where he will publicly admit that Roosevelt is out of the running he rmmi 5' 1- Mrs. William Thaw. will turn t3 Knox and undertake to de liver Oregon to the Pennsylvania Sena tor. He wants to control the Oregon delegation In any event, and if he can do this, Oregon's vote will go to any candidate but Taft. For the Secretary of War, Senator Bourne entertains the keenest dislike, and he will fight Taft to the last ditch. t North Dakota, reckoned a Taft state at present, might be swung to Knox if Senator Hansbrough could control it. Hansbrough is as putty in the hands of Senator Bourne, notwithstanding he Is many years his senior in the Senate, and if Bourne should but say the word, Hansbrough would do jhis utmost to get a Knox delegation from North Dakota. Hansbrough is not exactly in a position to dictate to North Dakota, however, for he is begging for re-election to the Senate and very much afraid he will not get it, and a man os such uncertain footing is not the man to swing a state delegation that is. by himself. Bourne is support ing Hansbrough for re-election and Hans brough is posing as a Roosevelt man In the hope that by such means he can make certain -his own re-election. Yet Hansbrough would flop to Knox if Bourne said the word. The state of Idaho is reported to be overwhelmingly tor Taft, and Senator 1 g "" 1 i hi Tr : Borah is looked upon as a warm .sup porter of the Secretary of War. " Yet Senator Heyburn, who publicly denies he has any choice. Is quietly doing his best to get a Knox delegation. Heyburn, not withstanding his protestations of friend ship for the administration, has most peculiar ways of manifesting bis friend ship. He knows that Taft, in the main, agrees with the policies now In force, and he wants no more of them. He wants a change, and believes that Knox would bring about such a change. There fore, with Heyburn at work, Idaho can not be listed as a safe Taft state. In Michigan, Taft's chief rival will be Senator LaFollette. There are few states where LaFollette cuts any figure, but he is strong in Wisconsin, and it is claimed by -his friends that he can carry Michi gan as well. That may be so, in which event the Taft estimate would have to be reduced. But while these conditions exist, there is another and quite important factor which must not be overlooked. The Fairbanks' boom, while virtually dead, still possesses some life, and Indiana is going to support him, at least on the first ballot. The Vice-President claims several other sure states, enough to make a total vote of 125. Fairbanks May Throw Strength. Fairbanks wants to be "Vice-President for another term, now that he knows he can not be President, and men In a posi tion to know, declare that at the proper time, perhaps not until the convention assembles, Fairbanks will withdraw from the Presidential race and throw his sup port to Taft, in return for which the Taft people would toe expected to stand by Fairbanks for" the Vice-Presidential nomination. So, while Taft may lose a part of the Ohio delegation, and some of the states now claimed for him, he would make a heavy gain by the addition of the Fairbanks votes, a sufficient gain to make certain his nomination. If this deal is carried out, it may cause a stampede. Taft himself is a pretty shrew politician and some of his friends who are novices and who injured the Taft boom while the Secretary was out of the country have been retired, and more competent men will take their places. The Secre tary will personally direct his campaign to a great extent, though in the very near future announcement may be made that a well-known and experienced Republican will assume the management of the Taft boom. But it may also be set down for a fact that Taft will have tho advantage of the political advice of the President, and experience has shown that Mr. Roosevelt, though his methods are novel, is a most successful man in the field of National politics. NATIONATj BOARD OF TRADE ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS. Also Commends Plan for Postal Sav ings Bank and Petitions for Reciprocity Trade Treaties. WASHINGTON. Jan. .23. The National Board of Trade concluded its session here today with the adoption of a number of important resolutions, among them being one urging an expeditious revision of the tariff and indorsing the proposition for the creation of a permanent tariff com mission. It was unanimously agreed that the President and Congress should be petitioned to take immediate steps to bring about reciprocity trade treaties be tween the United States and other coun tries. Postmaster-General Meyer's proposition for the establishment of a postal-savings bank was commended. It was further recommended that the tariff should be so amended that works of art intended for public" museums and art galleries should be admitted free of duty. The Board went on record in calling upon Congress clearly to define the status of the tariff with reference to our insular possessions. Resolutions also were adopted commending the administrative policy in the preservation of the National forests and the redemption of the arid lands by irrigation. It was further rec omended that Government ownership of. forests be increased ana that the proposed White Mountain and Appalachian re serves be established. SHAW JOKES WITH REPORTERS. Says Ho Is Candidate for Every Po sition Inquired About. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, who is in Washington to attend the White House reception tonight, paid his respects to the President today. Mr. Shaw said for the first time in some years he was now able to take a day's complete rest from active oc cupation. He said that he had been called upon to make answer to the following reports: That -he was a candidate for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency; that he was to become president of the Knickerbocker Trust Company; that he was to run for Governor of New York; that he was to take charge of the National Bank of Kansas City; that he was to -reorganize and con solidate the United States Mortgage & Trust Company and the Windsor & Empire Trust Company of New York. "I have answered all of these re ports in the affirmative and shall ac cept every position," laughingly re marked Mr. Shaw. FORAKER STILL IX FIGHT Not Discouraged by Desertion of Sev eral Friends. CINCINNATI, Ohio., Jan. 2S. Senator Foraker said tonight that the fight for delegates to the Republican "National convention will be continued, even though some of his best-known sup porters have been reported to have de serted him. This statement was made because of the report that ex-Lieutenant-Governor Hardin, one of his warm est personal friends, had announced himself in favor of Secretary Taft, al though heretofore strongly supporting Senator Foraker for the nomination. Plan Adopted by Bryan. CHICAGO, Jan. 23. The Record Herald today says:- Wllliam Jennings Bryan is not the originator of the guaranty plan for the protection of bank depositors. In a letter to Alex H. Revell. Mr. Bryan declares that although the scheme is spoken of as the' Bryan plan, he has "no patent on it." In addition, the Nebraskan expresses the opinion In nis letter that the abso lute guaranty is the better idea and that the Oklahoma plan is virtually an absolute guarantee. Campaign on Liquor Laws. ST. PAUL, Jan. 23. The German-American alliance of St. Paul, has started a campaign for a modification of the liquor laws of Minnesota, and will endeavor to. make the matter an issue at the Fall election.
